Web Series Worth Watching: Alan Cumming in Whatever this is.

Web Series of the Week: Whatever this is.
This dramedy about two young production assistants in New York is one of the best new web series of 2013. And it continues to entertain me with its latest episode, in which Ari and Toby's relationship is affected by a mistake during the making of a corporate video. Meanwhile, Lisa (played by the delightful Madeline Wise) has a Pretty Woman moment with her lesbian employers before learning some uncomfortable news. The episode also includes amusing guest appearances by the marvelous Alan Cumming (as a nasty CEO) and WTI creator Adam Goldman (as Cumming's assistant).
